Author's Response: lol Thank you. I have always enjoyed good poetry and enjoyed trying my hand at it. I was not satisfied with the work I found online so I just decided I had to write what I found lacking myself. I am so glad it can be satisfying to others as well :)

I don't think I have ever read a better fan-fic angsty Sirius- thank you so much! And the last line (in my humble opinion) really sums everything up, giving a sense of purpose and finality to the poem, but a beginning to the story itself. Thanks again! PLEASE keep writing!

Author's Response: Wow, thank you for such high praise. I am glad you felt the poem transitioned so well to lead in to the book/ movie scenes. Thanks again, and I assure you I am still writing. More will be added asap :)

Another one! This gave me chills. I love Sirius...forever loyal to his friends. This was great.

Author's Response: Thank you :) Yes, Sirius is a fabulous character, and couldn't have been played better by Gary Oldman. He was simply superb in the role, amazingly transitioning from crazed lunatic to sexy role model in what seemed like the blink of an eye, which both being entirely believable. Of course the makeup artists have to take some credit for that, but it still took immense skill to pull off the acting and Gary Oldman might be one of the rare few who could do it so well. Perfect casting there.

Wow this is amazing! It was emotional, I love reading about this side of sirius and it was portrayed perfectly. It makes me sad Harry had so little time with him

Author's Response: So glad to hear you were so affected. It is always emotional to me to write for the characters so very glad that comes across on screen so well. I was also very sad to see Sirius go so soon, and I loved his temporary return at the end for the closure it brought for Harry and we readers.
